What if the mother has been under cps and lost her custody battle but has visitation rights can you refuse those rights because of child endangerment?

Only with a court order. If you feel the mother would present a danger to the child during visitation, you must file for a modification to visitation based on the same and wait for the judge to rule on it. If time is an issue, you can file for an emergency order. Otherwise, if you refuse the mother access to her child as outlined in the original visitation order, you risk being found in contempt of court and that can bring fines and/or jail time.

I live in Indiana. In our state. Child support does not pay for visitation. These are 2 separate issues all together. If you have an order or divorce decree with scheduled visitation, and she's not allowing you to see the child, then you need to take her back to court. If no visitation has been ordered, then you need to petition the court for visitation rights.


Can a daughter-in-law deny her husband's mother visitation rights to see her son in California?

Grandparents are eligible to file for visitation rights in California. Grandparents can usually only file for visitation if the parents are unmarried. Provisions for filing while the parents are married include the parents are living separately, a parent's whereabouts are unknown for a month or more, the child has been adopted by a stepparent or the child does not live with either parent. Filing does not guarantee visitations will be granted. Also, the prior relationship status between grandparent and child, what is in the child's best interest, and parent's rights are considered before a decision is made.

You do not have the right to deny visitations but if you do, the father can and should request a court hearing to establish his paternity and get visitation rights. He can request custody or joint custody and the court will render a decision. If the child is to remain with the mother the court will set up a child support order and the father can file contempt charges if the mother withholds visitation or violates the visitation order in any other way.

You can file for visitation rights to your granchild in family court. Your case will be put on the docket and your child or guardian will be forced to appear in court to answer the summons.
